Hi,
I would like to buy a white housing for my MDA Touch from eBay, but there are lots of different prices and sellers..
Can you recomment a good eBay-Seller?
Are there any differences between those white housings?
I also need a new Digitizer, because mine has a lot of ugly scratches...
And of course I need to buy a keypad, because my keys have a different shape..
Did you have any experiences with buying housings in eBay?
Can you recomment any shops?
The most important point is the quality and the fitting!
It must fit perfectly, otherwise the housing will get damaged again (due to higher pressure...)
I am hoping, that I do not have to experience this again!!!
Please help me!
I had been looking for days and did not found anything useable....
greetings
touch-it
(Sorry for my English, I´m German! Please do not hesitate to correct my grammar, if there are any mistakes!!!)
I bought one a while back off ebay just got the cheapest one i could find, from china, it seems to be pretty much identical, but it didn't come with a digitizer
Mine was for the standard htc elfin
Hi,
and did it fit perfectly?
Did you have any problems while changing the housing?
Thanks in advance!
Greetings,
touch-it
edit: Do you know, what the name of the shop is, where you have bought the cover?
I also have to take the one for the standart elf / HTC Touch GSM
I got a nice white case for my standard htc touch elf,
with buttons and chrome sides fitted just fine no problems for £14
($16-$17) also from a guy from Hong Kong...
Mine fit's pretty perfect as far as i can tell theres no difference.
Fitting is simple enought bit of common sense doesn't hurt

I have many of this for sale. Please search for my username, chaiwat_t, if this item number has been sold. It got a good review in my country so hope you like it.

I'm interested - are there any published reviews?
So am I. I'm curious what the white version looks like. Any pics?
They have it here : http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-qtek-9000_722.htm
In 5 different colors for 27.95$. Can everyone with experience in silicon cases comment about it being a dust hugger? I heard it gets dirty easily but i don't have personal experience.
If it is that bad (the dust) how come they still sell?
I am using one myself for my SPV M5000 and it's not a dust hugger. Anyway, it's normal that if you use the black color, you'll notice the dust easier. It's the same for everything in black color, I think.
I've not seen any reviews yet but you can ask tho who had bought it from me (via eBay).
It makes my life less heavy as other cases make this giant like a big brick while this siliconse case just adds a litte weight to it.
I'll be doing a review soon. And the alumium grey is the best one as far as Jasjar's are concerned as i was told the skin blends very well with the original color.
If you have an exec, then i suggest you go for the clear version, thats your best bet.
Docc.

How much are you selling them with shipping to Madrid, Spain included? In €uros preferably.
I've never used ebay. Where is your link? Thanks

Can you please post the link to the seller? Also is that 24€ international postage? I live in Madrid, Spain
I used the link in the first post. Check it out .You have to pay in advance with paypal. I paid 24 euros and am waiting for the delivery (tony_ix: any idea how long that'll take?). This includes postage to the Netherlands (price is GBP 9,49 and 5,99 postage: is about E24) . If I'm wrong, I'm sure tony_ix can give some more info, since he's selling them.
Please do let us know how it fits. One concern of mine is that some of the cut outs might not correspond to the actual holes. If you could possibly post some pictures, that would be very nice.
Yes, that's true. The photos on the boxwave site show that the videocam hole is not exactly in line
For more photos...
http://www.pda4thai.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1333
There is no issue of cutouts not correspond to the actual holes.
ng, I have no picture of the unit with the white color at the moment. From the items sold, the black color is the most popular.
Is there anyway of getting one of these without using ebay or paypal?
Hi,
When I get this case, I won't be able to be of any use as to how the case will fit, since I don't have my device yet . I still have to wait some time before the end of my subscription before I can go get the universal. I bougth this case in eager anticipation. I thought the price was right and figured that by the time I get my device, they would be sold out.
So you'll just have to make do with the pictures online. Based on the pictures I expect it to fit well, also with the cut-outs. I was also not too fond of the flexiskin pictures showing the holes out of allignment. I do hope it will color ok, since I'm going to get the silver mda pro, but I that's just esthaetics.
I was wondering: based on the pictures of this silicone case, would it be of any help in the "keyboard marks" issue, since the case will add an extra strip around the border of the keyboard. This is pure speculation ofcourse, but an optimistic one. Any thoughts?
N
Regarding the keyboard scratchs, i wonder the same thing, any ownser of this skin care to comment?
Riceburner,
Please email me if you want to try paying in another way.
About the keyboard, I think if the skin covers the keyboard, then you'll find it hard to see the alphabet on it and that is pain. I like it to have the cutout for the keyboard.

Yes, but is it thick enough (the case) that the screen part doesn't touch the keyboard? Check this forum for xda exec case marks and you'll see what i mean. The upper part of the device (which is where the screen is) has shiny "dots" that correspond to the keys as they rub against eachother. Normally only the upper part of the screen. Just want to know if the "frame" of the silicon case is thick enough to prevent this to happen as there are a lot of people with the device for more than a month that have seen this symptom
its amazing... the screen is not touching the keyboard
the material feels very soft and strong at the same time
i did not expect it to be so perfect it fits like a glove
if yu guys want any particular fotos pls pm me and i'll try my best to provide
i would recomd this case to any one using the universal...
as i have the jasjar it looks a bit weird because it does not cover the hinge on the outside otherwise excellent case

these guys are selling it, but i can't see a keypad.
http://mobile.brando.com.hk/HousingO2XDAExec.php
Drop them an email, maybe they can supply the keypad seperate.
well these all look like alll they have is the two halves of the universal, not the swivel part or keyboard for sale
im looking for the complete replacements
Hey guys why would you not swap an O2 XDA Exec for a T-Mobile Germany? There may be people who are more inclined for a silver model vs. black one...
This way you both will be happy.
For example, I'd swap mine if it were not quite a bit used and I don't want a German keyboard, I need British one.

Its just that I like a change now and then. And I prefer Black a lot. I like that O2 housing. Its wicked. I just did a mistake by buying this silver Orange SPV. I was too much in a hurry. If anyone would like to exchange their Black O2 Housing, Maybe including keyboard+LED's, I will happily give them my Orange Housing + keyboard + Keyboard LED's.
This may be the wrong forum because my phone doesn't look like the icon for this board - if so, please could someone direct me towards the correct forum? My phone is an XDA Orbit.
Anyway, it came with a screen protector - which was a nice touch. The only problem is it's pretty poor (still better than nothing, mind). Can anyone suggest where, in the UK, to get a good one? I think I've used a Martin Fields one before and a Writeshield, but I can't remember how I liked either one since I don't remember which was which!
So, where can I get a good screen protector for an XDA Orbit in the UK?
I ordered mine over the net from Brando. It takes a while to arrive but the quality is good. I've got one each for my Charmer and Wizard, they ought to have one for your Orbit. It cost approx £7 (I think) including P&P.
Seach for the forum topic on screen protector and you'll get lovely recommendation from other members. There is another brand of srn pro that is heavily recommended by the members as well, not sure if you can get it in UK.
You can try eBay also if you want it fast. Just make sure you get the brand name right.
So Brando is an okay place for buying stuff in the UK then? Also, I suppose my main worry is that the XDA Orbit is the same screen dimensions the Artemis - I don't really understand, are they the same phone with a different shell? Is the Orbit a P3300?
The orbit is the HTC P3300 and you can also find screen protectors at gpsforless.co.uk

Well, I haven't really bought 1,000 stuff from Brando yet, but from my 2 experience with them, they are good in terms of speed (considering the process of it getting from HK to UK), packaging and quality of their product. I dont have an Orbit, but if you (and epmulligan) can confirmed that an Orbit is a P3300, then this ought to do the job . Dont worry about the picture showing you the Palm PPC. Check the words under the description on the compatible devices when ordering.
ANYWAY, chances are, if you were to buy a screen protector for a 240x320 device made by the same company, chances are, the size should be alright (e.g. chances are, the manufacturer will be using the same screen all over).
BTW, did you search the forum for other advises. There are some other brand which the members here also recommended. See if they have Orbit specific ones and probably UK delivery.
UPDATE: I had a look at the screen protector offered at gpsforless for Orbit, which is a 12 pack for £5.99. I've tried some similar 3 pack set from someone from ebay and the quality is REALLY different. Hence, I would advise you not to get it from there.
Thanks for the advice guys, very helpful.
If you don't mind waiting a few days for delivery from the USA the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal is second to none. I used these on my XDA2i and now on my Orbit.

I got mine from this ebay seller dx_accessories
He sells the multi layer stuff and I can confirm it does work. Two main differences from the O2 supplied protector. 1, the top layer is much harder and much more resistant to scratch. It is also smooth (glossy finish) and the stylus glides over it with ease (not the case with the O2 protector). 2, the so-called 'gel' layer that adheres itself to the screen works brilliantly. It left zero air bubble with very small effort. I spent 15 mins getting dust and air bubble out of the O2, this I spent 1 min getting the screen squeaky clean and it sticks on to it perfectly. The size is also perfect, leaving no more than 0.3 mm to any side.
The only problem I have is the glossy finish, making the screen a bit more difficult to see under strong light. I own a Wizard and had a similar protector for similar price but with a matte finish like a normal LCD monitor.
It comes with a screen wipe which is handy. I won't complain for GBP4 all in.

Looked for him and it apears he has nothing at all on sale at all at the moment.
I remembered where I got my writeshield from - globalpositioningsystems.co.uk so I spoke to them on the phone, found the one for the Orbit and ordered it. I just figured I'd stick with what I know because I was satisfied with it before. The main reason I chose this was because the guy on the phone could guarantee me it would fit the device.
I bought mine at http://search.stores.ebay.es/DuraSe...sooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftsZ2QQsaselZ136025443QQsofpZ0
Very quick and impressive quality.
Regards
It turns out the person I spoke to at globalpositioningsystems.co.uk was wrong. The writeshield they told me to get is too big...
hello,
there is a cheap offer for XDAIIs touchscreens on ebay.
i have a XDAIII - not a XDAIIs - i have a PB20B1 (board id 5) - not a PH20B.
does somebody know, if this touchscreen would work on my device ?
thank you!
xda 3 and 2s are the same model.
it´s just the provider name.
(the "real" name is HTC BlueAngel)
in germany its called xda 3 and in usa and england it is called 2s.
but thera are 2 different display types for the Blueangel !
watch the wiki
hello,
i readed the wiki: ok IIs and III should both be board ID 5 - and so they should both have the sony display.
but: the seller says for IIs and for PDA2K ! pda2K would be board ID 6 - so it's not the sony display ?
i don't get it ? does he not know, what he's talking about - or are the displays different - but the touchscreen the same ?
do you know ?
thank you very much.
that should help.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD
hello,
actually the wiki does not really answer my question.
i only want to buy the touchscreen-digitizer (only the glass and the digitizer-foil) - not the whole LCD.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170201516276
Since the sellers at ebay can't tell me, if their touchscreen is for the toppology-LCD (i assume, cause i think in USA might me more toppologys than sonys ??) or for sony-LCD i want to make sure to buy the right thing.
so, there are 2 different LCDs - but do they maybe have the same touchscreen-digitizer (glass and foil) ? if so, i can buy it without doubt.
thank you!
are you german ?
(because you have a xda 3 that is only sell in germany)
hello,
i bought the XDAIII used - from a german guy.
Both touch screens are the same, the difference is in the connector to the back of the lcd, one has wide spacings , the other thinner, the one posted in your ebay link is the thinner one. the only way to tell what screen you need is to look inside. Also the thinner screen has two holes either side the tracks, the wider spaced tracked one has one hole in the centre of the tracks.

Gary
hello,
sorry for the late reply:
i already looked inside my ba - a while ago. i also looked at the wiki. so i'm pretty sure i have the sony LCD.
so, does this touchscreen from ebay fit ?
thank you very much.
I've the same question...

I got lcd with 'wide' tape and just bought a replacement digitizer with 'thin' tape.
I think I'll manage to solder them together.
Question is..
Will it work? If I've done it properly, will it work? (i'm kinda smart with soldering iron xd)
Hi all, I have been looking for an online seller to buy a new plastic enclosure for my excalibur but cant seem to find ones at a reasonable price. I really like the black ones I have seem which I believe are the HTC version of it and would like to buy one. Anyone know where to find one?
Try E-Bay ... i would even settle buying a broken, but good condition excalibur and taking it apart to get the case off.
